India Textile Sector Report 2018/2022

India’s textile sector is the country’s oldest manufacturing industry. Textile and apparel contributed 4% to India’s GDP, 14% to industrial production, and 13% to exports in FY2017. Textiles is second only to agriculture in employment generation. The sector is dominated by cotton, which claims a share of over 65% of the total mill fibre consumption in the country. India accounts for about 14% of the global production of textile fibre and yarns, and is the second-largest producer, after India, of man-made fibre and filament. India’s textile and apparel sector is fragmented, with few large companies, and a dominant share of small, independent, and often unorganised players. The sector, which supplies fabrics and garments to leading global brands, is driven by India’s strengthening middle class whose taste for Western clothing has only recently eclipsed the sales performance of traditional dress.
